Dark New Day

One of my first images with my new toy: Arca Swiss Rm3di - Rodenstock HR 4/32mm - Phase One IQ260.
Still have to get used to it, especially the colors in post processing are quite different to the Canon CMOS I used to shoot.

Very peaceful image, makes me want to be there. Looks like sunrise? The various foreground elements juxtaposed against the peaks partially-obscured by clouds make for a very pleasant scene.

The dark LRC seems to pull at my eye. I wish it was a bit wider on the right, maybe so the plant in the LRC wasn't cut off and there was a bit more room to the right of the peak. The pool and reflection on the left is very open, and I wish the land on the right had a similar quality to give it more balance.

Beautiful and peaceful Rainer, I love the mood of this scene. No nits from me, I like it as is.

I find the composition to be very well balanced. And your processing is exquisite. I love the cool tonality.
FYI - Something happened to your large image - it's the same size as this post. Did you forget to resize it to 1200 px?

Love those grays and blues and the touch of mist in the midrange areas behind the pond. An outstanding image. The Arca Swiss Rm3di looks quite interesting. Look forward to seeing more images you post using your 'new toy'.

Front to back this holds my interest and the processing is spot on.
